ONE GOD

The more points of agreement among members of a group, the more they will be unified, the better they will perform, and the less likely they will be to fight among themselves. That’s why Paul gives us a built-in list of “ones” that can bind believers together in harmony and unity in Ephesians 4:1-6. as his final point of commonality, Paul reminds us that there is one God!

Christians differ and disagree about many things. We come from different backgrounds and different walks of life. We have different perspectives and different preferences. Disagreements have been happening since the early days of the church. Paul gives us these seven strong strands to bind believers together: one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God. The same God who created you, also created me. Each one of us live and move and exist in Him. He’s your Father and my Father; your God and my God. He’s the ultimate super-glue that joins us together in a spirit of oneness.
